rescue groups in NO (i've read) are specifically requesting plus
sized clothing.

and on another NG, some of the posters are saying it's better to
just send cash. if clothing is sent, it may be too small for
some, it may need to be washed, it may be thrown away. plus it's
more expensive to send clothing. but sending a check or money
order doesn't cost as much to mail, and the Red Cross, et al, can
use that money to buy whatever they need.

my $0.02.
